This year marks the 8th annual Rock & Worship Roadshow, which is presented by Compassion International.

They have announced a new roster of artists for the 2016 tour, including Newsboys, Jeremy Camp, Mandisa, along with Phil Wickham, Family Force 5 and Audio Adrenaline.

A pre-show party will take place before each show with artists Danny Gokey (host) and Citizen Way, and Shaun Groves returns to the Rock & Worship Roadshow as the event's guest speaker.

"We are so excited to be a part of the Rock and Worship Roadshow 2016!" said the Newsboys' Michael Tait in a press release. "While we have been blessed to play thousands of shows all over the globe, this is actually our first time being a part of the 'Roadshow' tour, and we can't wait to join Compassion International and the other artists to reach communities all around the country."

The general admission will be $10 per person at the door. A VIP ticket will also be available for $50 per person, which will include a Q&A with Jeremy Camp, Mandisa and other artists, early entrance for premium seating, an exclusive tour t-shirt, a VIP laminate, a 40-song digital download from New Release Today and more.

For Newsboys' super fans, a "Newsboys Experience" ticket will also be available that will include all the benefits of the VIP ticket along with an exclusive meet & greet with the chart-topping band. To purchase VIP and Newsboys Experience tickets, please visit the tour's website www.theRoadShowTour.com.

The event was founded in 2009, and The Rock & Worship Roadshow has since seen over 170 shows to an audience of more than 1.3 million. Pollstar named the tour one of their Top 50 Tours for Mid-Year in 2012.

Compassion International is the world's largest Christian child development organization serving more than 1.7 million children. They are thrilled to continue sponsoring this remarkable tour.

Brian Seay, executive producer of The Rock & Worship Roadshow, says, "The 2016 Rock and Worship Roadshow promises to be an amazing night of music and ministry. We have purposefully created this night for the entire family and are excited to be on the road next February and March with some of the best artists and speakers in all of Christian music."
